Yesterday the game press got a copy of The Last of Us, and they love it. The game has been rated very high. Company's like Cheat Code Central, IGN, Eurogamer and Machinima gave this game a 10 out of 10. The game is one of the best rated games ever. From the 57 critic reviews on Metacritic, the game has an average grade of 96 out of 100. Only a few games in history reached a higher score than 96. Well, that was enough excitement, let's talk about the game.

The game plays 20 years after a fungus killed millions on earth. The earth is full of zombie-like 'people'. Joel, the guy, promises a friend of him that he will search his daughter and take her away from a resistance group. After some time Joel finds the young girl, called Ellie, and they escape, or at least try to. Military, scavengers, hunters and infected people try to capture and kill Joel and Ellie. It's quite an exciting story which is very good written, according to the reviews I read.

The game is a third-person shooter, so a big variety of weapons is available, but you need to use them wise, because ammo is rare in this game. Not all the weapons from the game are findable, some of them need to be crafted. Crafting in this game is very important. With things like a battery, sugar and alcohol you make many items such as a medical kit and molotov cocktails. The game also has skills. You can increase your skills from level 1 to 100. The skills are quite common, such as increased maximum health, faster health regeneration but also Listen Mode. With Listen Mode you see the outlines of the world, and you can see enemies.

The Multiplayer of The Last of Us is something truly unique. In the multiplayer you need to build a clan, the goal of the clan is a higher change of survival. You can choose between two clans: Hunters and Fireflies. There are two game modes: Survivor and Supply Raid. In Survivor is basically Team Deathmatch, but everybody has only one life. If your dead, you won't respawn. Supply Raid is also Team Deathmatch, but there is a limited amount of lives for your team. When you win, your clan becomes stronger, when you die, your clan becomes weaker.

The Last of Us is one of the best games of this generation, and I could really recommend you this game. It's looking great, it's very good made and multiplayer is unique. Are you going to buy The Last of Us?
